Treasurer's Report (Tim Slagle)

Here is the Sept 2011 financial summary: File:HacDC Financials Sept 2011.pdf

We ended September about $100 ahead even though one-time contributions have dropped to zero (no robotics class?). This is because we added six member subscriptions in September! New paying members are: Adam Green, Dan Barlow, Daniel Watson, Emily Dunne, Richard Bullington-McGuire and Reuven Cohen (voted in May 2011). Alex Hofmann last paid dues in June and was administratively dropped since he didn't respond to emails.

Membership revenue now exceeds rent in the "new" space, but we still rely on extra contributions to meet all expenses (hosting, insurance, etc.) so thanks to everyone who kicks in extra!

Quorum is now 13.

Alberto and I checked out a possible space, 3 blocks east of the NY Ave Metro (near the DC Fab Lab!) The deal was to sublet 4/5 of a 5000 ft^2 warehouse for about $2500/mo. However utilities would run $600/mo in winter, it would cost $5K to fix up before we could occupy, and the roof leaked all over the space and would cost $25K to fix. It seemed like a cool space for someone with the cash to fix it up, but not us :-(

Our corporate status was revoked by DC in September even though we filed the required paperwork in Jan 2011. I have been in touch with DC and we need to recreate the report that was filed since no copy was made. We are still waiting on getting address info for the directors as of Jan 2011, I will submit it ASAP once we have everything.

ITG is switching mailing lists over to Google Groups. We found 17 recent paying members who were not subscribed to the HacDC:Members list, and ITG sent emails out inviting them to join.
